Hello Hulkamaniacs. First time post so go easy. Not sure if I am posting this in right folder but I need help on a How to so it's in here.

Trying to rebuild my engine and I don't see the info I need anywhere on here.

Tore everything down and now I'm up to reinstalling the block. I'm honed out looking good. Need to get new rings now. Don't know what size I need. My pistons have a 0.25 stamped on them so I'm assuming it's been bored before and oversized.

I have a digital caliper and a dial bore gauge ready to go. I think I understand where to go from here but I measure my piston which I'm going to guess is going to come in at 0.25 over standard. Then I set my bore gauge just over that and take measurements of cylinder walls. From that I factor in my 0.004 clearence and then I'm lost.

Can someone correct if I'm wrong above and point me where to go next?
